Hard-boiled detective, apocalypse preventer and hot tip to be the next Bond: boxset-loving superstar Idris Elba has been busy. But he still made the time to turn up to Regent Street last night for the launch of his brand new collection, Idris Elba x Superdry.

Elba welcomed fans into the store before rolling in with seven models sporting his new line. As a higher-end high-street brand, Superdry’s understated street style complement’s Luther’s laid-back cool. It’s a huge range, with over 250 items in Elba’s name, but the tailored-fit peacoats and cashmere crews make it a smart choice for the next few Autumn/Winter seasons.

Monogram Reversible Bomber Jacket, £250

The choices made by Elba and Superdry co-founders James Holder and Julian Dunkerton are evident in the muted colour scheme, which underlines the traditionally masculine look of the collection. Our personal favourites include the leather racer jacket sported by Idris above, the monogram reversible bomber and the Director Grandad shirt with fine-thread tailoring. 

The plank strengthens the dozens of muscles between your shoulders and hips.

But if you jack your feet in and out as you do it, the plank suddenly becomes so much more than just a core builder.

The quick movement of your feet provides a great dynamic stability challenge that makes your abs scream, and ramps up your heart and metabolic rate.

And you can make it even more difficult by changing up your arm positioning. This creates an unbalanced foundation, so you have to work harder to perform the same exercise.

Put it all together using the plank jack complex below. Do each of the following four plank variations for 15 seconds each without resting. Once you’ve completed the fourth exercise, rest one minute. That’s one round. Perform up to five total rounds.

In life, each of us tends to move at our own pace. Some of us walk, talk, and eat faster or slower than others.

Research tells us that different speeds come with different costs and benefits. Walking faster, for example, burns more calories than walking slowly. Those who talk faster are more persuasive. And those who eat fast tend to eat more.

In other words, utterly shredded.

The excess of abs in the photo above tells you everything you need to know about the effectiveness of White’s program, which is detailed in the April issue of Men’s Health.
